Cable Advice

Hi there,

Below are two photos of cables which I basically need connecting. I am not clever enough to understand what to search for on Amazon! Some advice on what it is I actually need would be great. Or indeed if it is possible. UK based.

Your images don't work.

Try posting them to Imgur and using the BBCode tag they'll provide you with.

Apologies - how about now?

You've got a DVI-I connector (the white one) and a VGA connector.

What are you trying to connect to what? Provide all of the details and you should get an answer.

The white one connects to the PC and the other to the PC screen. Got an improved PC now but the screen with it is rather small. The screen I want doesn't connect to the new PC I have. There just isn't a sizeable slot for it. The only way I can get around it is to try and connect these two cables together.

Post pictures of the connectors available on the PC and screen you want to use.

The screen itself is 15-pin. The space on the PC to connect is one of those 18+1 types.

Is the cable to the monitor detachable?

If it is junk both cables and buy a new one that's DVI-I male to VGA male.

Check the pictures of the DVI end to make sure it matches the socket on the PC.

As bremen says, VGA - DVI-I
